Meole Brace shocked Wrockwardine Wood in the 1st round of the KGJ Insurance County Cup after beating them by 25 at Archibald Worthington. Captain Nick Davies said “before the game I told the lads if we could get a good start we’d have a chance. Sure enough we finished the front four with a 21 chalk lead. Moving into the middle the Wrock lads started off really well with Chris Grocott winning 5 (to be best winner for them). But Will Childs cancelled that out and we went into the back four with a lead of 19. At number ten, Will Tyler stormed home 8 and Mark Thomas and Doug Edwards edged their games to give us a fantastic victory against a fancied Wrockwardine Wood side. It was a great win for Meole Brace and we look forward to the draw for the next round!!!” Julian Cooke and Will Childs were best winners 6 for Meole.
The other two games finished 42 shots to the winning team. Wem USC beat Adderley on Chester Road Ladies green, best winner being Ian Metcalfe 8 and Jack Hazeldine 12 for the Adders.
